About meA fully paid-up member of the beard & glasses brigade, I started with science fiction (NOT 'sci-fi', please!) and have ranged far and wide thereafter. As something of a collector of anorakisms, I am liable to be found on a train or a military airbase (with permission, of course) anywhere from the North Cape to the Bosphorous - but always with style. As a career bureaucrat and default member of the 'awkward squad', I can also be found raising the rabble at UK Civil Service trade union events.
About my libraryIt's big. It's multi-lingual. It's eclectic.

I was impressed by your detailed tagging and descriptions. Some of the railway items look like tough cataloguing to me. Glad to hear you were a librarian - where did you work?
I am definitely not impressed with KM. To me it seems to be a mish mash of trad library methods (like classification and thesaurus construction) with MBA-waffle about valuing employees for their 'unique personal knowledge' and imposing models demonstrating the (obvious) importance of information in business. Enjoy your course! :-)

Interested to hear of the Red Cross modelling chap. I'm in south Brum. May not get over to SC but do you attend the Railway Modelling exhibition at Cocks Moors Leisure Centre?

Most of my day job consists of software testing, or leading testing efforts. The testing is the best part of the job for me though, as I hate being stuck in meetings all day.
Happy Reading!
